			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We do not know anybody who likes cleaning rain gutters on their  property. It’s time consuming and often, frankly, completely nasty,  especially if you do not keep up with it on a somewhat regular basis. If  you are like many homeowners and think “I’ll take care of that next  weekend”, you could end up with massive clogs in your gutters and  downspouts…clogs which will cost hundreds of dollars to repair because  you have to call a gutter professional to come out, take down your  downspouts, clean them out and put them all back together. Instead of  spending all of that time and money, why not just install a gutterbrush gutter guard system?</p>
<p>The original gutterbrush simple gutter guard will save you time and  you won’t have to worry about costly clogs in your downspouts. The  product looks like a giant pipe cleaning brush and it sits in your rain  gutter channel and acts as a barrier for leaves, twigs, seedpods and  other debris while still letting water pass through freely and out the  downspout.</p>
<p>Installation is simple and fast. The most difficult part is climbing  the ladder up to your roof to set the original gutterbrush down inside  of it. But that’s it…you’re done! More importantly they are easy to  clean if you ever need to do so. All you have to do is climb back up  that pesky ladder; pull the brushes out, remove the debris and put them  right back into place.</p>
<p>Why spend a bunch of money if you don’t have to? Why spend a bunch of  time cleaning something if you don’t have to? The original GutterBrush  is very affordable and you can install it yourself in about an hour and a  half and it lasts all year (studies have proven they can also keep your  gutters from freezing in the winter). Sounds like a win-win situation  to me.</p>
<p>Don’t be fooled by imitations that are manufactured outside of the  USA using sub standard materials. Insist on the original GutterBrush  Simple Gutter Guard!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">No matter the size of your  business the costs involved in the preparation of estimates for prospective clients are significant. They can also take up a considerable amount of time and effort adding even more to your cost of doing business. While charging for an estimate as a means of getting back some of the initial outlay in resources is not a best practice, eliminating the inefficiencies and waste by utilizing available technology can result in less expenditures of finite resources.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is where utilizing Google Street View may be very beneficial. How so? That is an excellent question.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">First,  you can usually see what the street was like and if parking was available. This allows for proper planing to assure an on time arrival which is a great way to start off the relationship with the potential client. Second, it often allows visibility into the type of property where the estimate is going to be made. This also allows for some strategic planning prior to arrival on scene. Third, if you are in the roofing industry this technology often allows you to see exactly which type of roof is present on the property as well as other important roofing variables needed to make a sound estimate. This information can allow you to be prepared to offer a customized estimate to the potential client without having to take unnecessary time to do so due to already having knowledge of the roof type. Fourth,  you can often determine obvious structural defects from the photos available. Again, this type of due diligence saves you time on site but also helps you to project a very professional image. Fifth, using this technology allows you to be completely prepared in terms of what equipment you will need to make the best estimate possible. For example, Google Street View may allow you to determine what size ladder(s) may be needed to make an inspection/estmate. Finally, this technology allows you to capture an image of the property for any client files you may be keeping for the estimate and any subsequent work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Google Street View Prius Getting Ticket" src="http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/uploads/google_street_view_car_prius_gets_ticket.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="188" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I suggest you give this technology a look to see if you can implement it to make a very positive impression on your prospective clients.</p>
